The C Receptor, often referred to as the C-type lectin receptor, is a type of protein found on the surface of certain immune cells. It plays a crucial role in the immune system by recognizing and binding to specific carbohydrates on pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi. This interaction helps the immune system identify and eliminate these harmful invaders. These receptors are important for initiating immune responses and can influence inflammation and tissue repair. By detecting pathogens, the C Receptor aids in activating other immune cells, enhancing the body's ability to fight infections and maintain overall health.
